Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Initially I was a little dissapointed with the Borla system for the S2000. I have a Borla cat-back exhaust on my 1995 Tacoma, and it sounds great, looks good after 5 years, and delivered a bump in performance and fuel economy.
The system for the S2000 came packaged well, however the exhaust tips had burrs and imperfections, and I feel that the most visible part of the system should obviously look the best. I also didn't like the fact that the tips are almost a copy of the factory tips, so there is no custom look to the system.
It is lighter than factory, possibly by as much as 15 lbs, and installation was quick, easy, and straight-forward, and after several weeks there are no rattles or squeaks that have developed.
The sound quality is ok at best. The tone is much deeper, and I like that for a 4 cyl, however it tends to drone more than stock and reverberates in the interior, especially with the top up, and that is an issue with almost every S2000 after market system, from what I have heard.
I also did not experience even the slightest gain in performance in any area. I know the factory systems nearly maximizes the S2K potential, but again since I did experience gains with my Tacoma, I expected a little performance or fuel economy gain with the Honda, and it does not deliver. If anything, the exhaust is just as restrictive as factory and I possibly even lost a couple of hp as well as 1-2 mpg.
While I still feel that Borla delivers a quality product for many vehicles, I would advise doing extensive research and purchasing a different aftermarket system for the S2000.
